Hi There!

I was banded on Nov 7th 08 and had my first fill on Jan 5th 09. My fill was 1.8cc and I can eat anything I want. I get scared because I'm thinking that my band might have slipped and that's why I can eat anything I want. Could somethng be wrong with my band?

I go back to OCC to get my 2nd Fill on 03/07/09 and I'm hoping they will give me a tighter fill because I haven't been losing weight.

My weight when I was banded was 193 lbs and I am at 174 lbs. I've been at this weight for the last 4 weeks and it doesn't come down.

Help!!!

It's New Years Eve, you've just stepped on your scale and you're in shock. Thanksgiving,,,,, Christmas,,,,, everyone at your work place has brought in tons of holiday goodies, you've been to several holiday parties, the holiday foods are just awesome.... But, the scale doesn't lie,, you've put on more weight than ever.... You're pounding your head against the wall,, asking yourself,, what are we going to do? We go to the Internet, we go to our doctors, we know someone that's taken control of their weight problem, we ask for advise, we make a decision, we decide to be lapbanded. It's a new year,, It's a time to take control,, You've scheduled your lapband surgery,, YOU'RE NOT ALONE!! Here at the Lapband Forum you'll meet new freinds for life, all going through the same thing or have been in your shoes. This is the place to get support and advise from your new lapband friends. So don't be shy, you're always welcome here. So lets hear it from all of you that have scheduled your surgery or fill in the month of January.

Hi,

I'm scheduled to go for my 1st fill on 01/05/09 to OCC. I would like some advise on what I need to do or not do before my fill. I leave on Monday morning and come back to Vegas on Monday evening. I'm afraid that something might be wrong because I have absolutely no restrictions even though I feel great. No pain, no vomiting. I had my lapband on 11/07/08 and started with 192 lbs. I'm at 173 lbs now. I hope you can give me some tips. Do you know who does the fills at OCC? Hope to hear from you.

Thanks

Hi JazzyJude,

It's great to see how good you're doing. Do you always go to OCC for your fills? I live in Las Vegas so I'm flying in on 01/05/09 in the morning and coming back the same day in the evening. This will be my first fill. I'm kind oif nervous because I am wondering if anything is wrong since I have no restrction at all. I Had my lapband done on 11/07/08 and I weighed 192 lbs. Now I am weighing 173 lbs.

Is there anything I should do or shouldn't do before I go for my 1st fill? I haven't spoke to anyone so I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Pls let me know anything that you think might help. Who is the one who does the fills at OCC?

Thanks so much

I'm going to OCC for my first fill on January 5th. Is there anything I should do days prior to going for my fill? I don't have any restriction so I'm anxious to get my fill. When we don't have any restriction, can you tell me if anything might be wrong?
